        <h3>About the system</h3>

        <p>Land has a asset value of land into The Provincial Land Commissioner’s Department (Western Province) and the
            Department of Land Commissioner General’s are responsible for managing government lands within the Western
            Province.</p>

        <p>The Provincial Land Commissioner’s Department of Western Province (WP-LDC) which is the key organization
            involved in state land disposal in WP.</p>

        <p>WP-LCD is vested with the responsibility of managing government lands in the Western Province by regulations
            under Crown Land Ordinance, Land Development Ordinance and Land Grant Special Provision Act, Land Redemption
            Ordinance and Western Province Land Development Statute.</p>

        <p>The issuing of land permits, land grants and releasing lands on long term lease are the main functions which
            are performed by the department. There are several organizations involved in the process of releasing a land
            i. e. Divisional Secretariat, District Secretariat, Western Province Land Ministry and Ministry of Land and
            Land Development, Department Land Commissioner General's and Presidential Secretariat.</p>

        <p>The process of releasing a land was carried out manually at each organization and communicated by post to the
            next higher level of the workflow. </p>

        <h3>Key problems related to existing processes </h3>
        <ul>
            <li>
                Obtaining state land utilization information
                <p>Although there are many government organizations which are dealing with crown lands, there is no
                    single location where the information with regard to government lands can be obtained.</p>
            </li>
            <li>
                Accurate information of land alienation transactions
                <p>Once transaction initiated on land alienation it travels across many government organizations until
                    it is completed, information is available on current status of such transactions.</p>
            </li>
            <li>
                Obtaining information on un-alienated lands
                <p>Currently Department of Land Commissioner General’s, WP-DLC as well as Divisional Secretariats
                    maintain paper files with regard to the land which have been alienated. However it is very difficult
                    to obtain such information as those are in paper files.</p>
            </li>
            <li>
                Calculating and estimating the revenue income from state lands
                <p>Simply because the income is calculated and changed by through manual processes amount is also
                    difficult to calculate and known.</p>
            </li>
        </ul>

        <h3>Project development objective and scope of the project</h3>
        <h4>Objectives: </h4>
